## Description

Cloud Annotations is a web-based platform designed for collaborative image annotation and the preparation of computer vision datasets. It provides an interface for teams to draw bounding boxes and polygons over digital media, transforming raw images into structured training data for machine learning models.

The platform distinguishes itself through a real-time synchronization engine that allows multiple users to edit the same image simultaneously. By utilizing browser-based local storage and standardized data serialization, it supports offline workflows and ensures that exported annotations remain compatible with common machine learning training pipelines.

The application manages complex visual data through a centralized state architecture and high-performance rendering techniques. These capabilities facilitate consistent data labeling across distributed teams, streamlining the creation of datasets for object detection and classification tasks.
